Magic World Media was founded in 2008 by scientists in order to offer children a view into the mysterious ways of life and the universe through books and other forms of media. Our goal is to nurture the imagination and wonder of young children by introducing them to the world that exists beyond the limitations of our senses and, importantly, exposing them to the vastness of what is still unknown. Our books generally place the child at the center of a process of questioning and consider how the individual relates to and is influenced by the universe.
To attract a wider audience than simply those with a predisposition to science, our books are designed to look and sound like mainstream fiction so that they can be easily categorized as general human interest. It is our hope that children who read Magic World books will be inspired to learn the tools of science in their formal schooling and grow into adults who have not lost the ability to make the leaps of imagination required for revolutionary scientific advance.
How we work
We operate essentially as a virtual company with scientists, would-be scientists, science enthusiasts, writers, illustrators and editors from across three continents coming together to work on specific projects. We are always looking for new concepts and manuscripts and people who are interested in working on these projects in various capacities.
